Introduced in 1966 as a two-door coupe and revised in 1968 and 1971, the Dodge Charger quickly made a name for itself as one of the most important muscle cars ever built. The Charger nameplate started to fade as the oil crisis hit the United States in the early 1970s and disappeared completely in 1977. A fifth-generation model resurrected the brand in 1982, but the Charger was axed for the second time in 1987.
The iconic name was revived yet again in 2006, when the Charger became the vehicle we all know today: a four-door sedan. The sixth-generation model was built until 2010, when a brand-new, evolutionary iteration was unveiled. For the 2015 model year, the Charger received yet another overhaul, this time receiving brand new front and rear fascias and a revamped interior. As we’re moving toward the vehicle’s on-sale date, the refreshed Charger is rumored to become even more menacing, as Dodge is reportedly planning to drop the outrageous Hellcat engine under its bonnet.
Updated 08/13/2014: Chrysler has just announced that a brand-new Dodge will be unveiled on August 13th at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. The manufacturer also released a teaser photo (after the jump) showing a sedan hidden underneath a red cover. Judging by the wheels and the way the cover wraps around the hood, the said sedan is none other than the Dodge Charger Hellcat! There is a live reveal coming up too, and we have the video feed above. Remember, it kicks off at 10:30 a.m. EST sharp! Stay tuned to TopSpeed for the full details later today.
